    Chips and house-made salsa

    This restaurant was recommended to me by my Airbnb host. The scene was lively, the food was nice and spicy, and the waiter was patient with my mother and I as we Spanglished our way through ordering.

    This is the best place ever in Mexico City. I had the special of the month pork shank and it's probably the best dish I've ever had. Taste was simply amazing. Highly recommended establishment. Service was very good as well. I will return for

    AKA La Riviera del Sur. Great place with a fantastic bar for any cocktails you could desire. The first time I actually tried to eat here, there was a TV show or movie filming of all things lol But I was happy I was able to experience the food and drinks here. The menu isn't too overwhelming for a place of this size which I love. I ordered a tequila sunrise, chicken soup and my dining partner ordered another dish that I don't recall the name of but it tasted excellent. Would definitely return!

    The Summary: Atmosphere - 4/5 Neighborhood - 3/5 Staff - 4/5 Food - N/A Drinks - 4/5 Inclusivity - 3/5 Experience - 3/5 The Story: Came here to enjoy drinks with my boyfriend after dinner. We were able to sit quickly and picked spots at the bar, ordering a margarita and a mezcal shot. Service was nice and attentive despite the busy night. The venue is intimate enough to look packed & popular, but spacious enough to not be overwhelming crowded. It was loud, though, so come here for a good time with friends and not a one-on-one dinner. Didn't order any food here so I can't speak too it's inclusivity of non-meat eaters or those who are gluten-free, but it's too tight of a space for handicap equipment. Maybe there are lighter crowds in the afternoon, and then there's room for that. They do have limited (but nice!) outdoor seating though. Coming here was a nice time, but not a stand-out. Recommended if you're in the neighborhood and just need a drink, or a get-together with friends.

    Flan

    The tacos, tostadas, and flan are incredible. Plus you can't beat the prices for each tequila shot. Perfecto!

    We loved this place! We ate here our second to last night in DF and on a Sunday when quite a lot of the restaurants in La Roma were closed. It was a toss up between Riviera del Sur and El Parnita, and we chose Riviera del Sur and were not disappointed! We had a nice table outside and split quite a few of the tacos. In order of our favorites, 1 being THE BEST: 1. Taco de Pescado Tixin Xic (omg, so good....we tried to vary our choices, but ordered this one twice!) 2. Taco de Cochinita Pibil 3. Taco Riviera 4. Taco de Poc Chuc 5. Taco de lechon asado The Taco de Pescado is not to be missed. It was amazing. It had a nice smokey flavor and a little kick of heat. One of the salsas that accompanied the tacos also had some serious heat factor and I'm not shy around spice, but I got a bit on my lip and yowza! We had a round of micheladas and a few mezcals before moving on, but honestly, we were having such a good time there, I could've stayed all night.

    Please be careful here and actually read people's review on their food since it's more of a drinking venue. I echo with all the reviewers who had a bad food experience here. The shrimps here tasted sour and fishy, meaning it was probably poorly refrigerated. We walked away unable to finish any of our entrees.

    Our food the shrimp al gusto and the poc chuc
